THE penultimate class of the week at the Cavan Winter Horse Festival in Cavan in the Boomerang arena was the €3,000 six/seven-year-old final, sponsored by Jim Derwin Bloodstock.

Thirty-six combinations came forward from the qualifying rounds to take on the 1.30m track designed by Klaus Holle with 14 of those moving onto an entertaining and lightning quick jump-off. Jumping third last in the second round, Connaught junior rider Cian McMunn made the late draw count when coming out on top with the only seven-year-old in the line-up, OBG Azarro. The Tangelo Van De Zuuthoeve chesnut gelding proved unbeatable in 31.70.
